| Similar sound characteractics to MIT cables? Closest to MIT is Transparent. Unsurprising, as, having been the distributor for MIT, and knowing the design, Transparent designed their own cable, much similar to the MIT sound, exceptions being the MIT designed cables extension further out in th... | |
| Nola Contender & Totem Forest comparison? Yeah, the comments don't seem reflective of Stereophile's measurements, where Atkinson found slightly more mid treble energy. Certainly isn't a dull speaker. My personal experience is that it's quite detailed, in a musical way, not in a hi-fi way.... | |
| Stillpoint Ultras anyone? Tbg:Using my wife's name to respond, but it's me: gbmcleodI haven't placed speaker cables on the floor in many, many years, not since Enid Lumley said not to (circa 1990). Nor power cords. I've found that precise setup - which includes the room fi... | |
| new vs old shunyata power cables zi-tron cobra not quite as full-bodied as pythons. hence, roundness, solidity and focus of image a bit weak. | |
| Shunyata VX vs CX Keep in mind that the original Shunyata power cords, King Cobra V1s, had a power to them not equalled since. On amps, they could make a system's dynamic range jump like a runner out of his block when the gun fires. What they lack in resolution, th... | |
| Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE I just happened to come across my post from nearly 2 years ago. I had forgotten that I bough the SE version before. Guess what? I just bought it again today. However, I expect different results. Let me tell you why.I discovered that one of my spea... | |
| Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables... The chorus of experience!I'm on the side of mix 'n match. Cobra on most components, but an older model, like originals Python and KCs on a digital front end can bring the best of both. Digital front ends need quieting down, and that compound they ... | |
| Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE I see this thread is still continuing, so that's a good thing.I have had the Oppo for not quite a week now, and called customer service today to inquire about the break in time. The rep said they didn't recommend any break-in time. I thought, he i... | |
| Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE I received at 83SE. I'm posting to set my start date with it: tonight. I'll have to give it time.I had the Cambridge 840C, incidentally. While I appreciated its clarity, it was "polite". The sound did not project forward as it does in a good hall ... | |
| Lessloss DFPC original vs mini Don't do it! The Mini is not a suitable substitute for the DFPC in terms of quality. it is about half as good. My SO and I tried it out, returned both. We have Shunyata Black Mamba current iteration and Pythons. Felt a bit more lifelike w/Shunyata... | |
| LessLoss Signature vs Synergistic Python CX I would have to disagree that the Lessloss cables are as good as the current CX series Shunyatas. I have both, and the Lessloss DPFC model, while a very good value, is not in the same arena as the Shunyatas. particularly in the bass, imaging, and ... | |
| Has anybody compared Lessloss and Shunyata pcs I have both. My preference is for the Shunyatas CX series cords after having tried the Lessloss "Original" model. The lower midrange thru mid bass seems lacking something in bass power and focus of the instruments. Although the Lessloss is MUCH cl... | |
| Most powerful and popular EL34 tube amp? The Antique Sound Lab 1001 (or is it 1003?) 30 watt Class A integrated. And it has something few others have:continousness, where it sounds like the live mike feed from the Met and not like typical, the-string-section's-here-one-minute-and-gone-th... | |
| Upgrading wall outlets Unequivocally, yes.I've had many of the same others have had: first PS Audio, then FIM 880 (gold and regular), now FIM on one outlet, Oyaide R1 on one and Synergistic Teslaplex on one. All different sounding: I THINK the Teslaplex may actually be ... | |
| New Audience Ultra High Resolution Adept Response The question to inquire about is: what is the absolute reference in this case? We, many of us, like "better bass" "more 3D" without any reference to "....cellos sound like this in the Muskervein..." or "drum overtones sound like this in Carnegie..... |
